In my personal experience it was never a pop but felt almost like a slap to the back of the head along with a pretty loud noise. This almost always precipitated an OBE/lucid dream/vibration for me

This is a dimensional event... However, not in the sense that you are traveling to another world and meeting aliens mumbo jumbo...

Yes, this is called lucid dreaming, and it's a lot of fun. It takes work, though! You have to be able to remember your dreams and to realize that you're dreaming, which is no small feat. It's very helpful to keep a journal of your dreams and write in it every morning before you forget everything. That was the #1 stumbling block for me...

Does cola or soda contain flouride? I drink more sodas than water. I do have a britta filter on my faucet but I don't think it takes out the flouride.

I'd really like to decalcify if that is possible for me. I am about to be Thirty Three in a few days, which I think is a significant age. I have been having more lucid dreams and strange experiences. I think I may have even had out of body experiences, because some of my lucid dreams feel really real, but strange.

Yes, it does.

Search the forums here, there is a scientific study with amounts of fluoride in all our favorite foods.

Sorry I don't have the link handy.

Welcome to the club! Now you can party like its 1984!...you're not longer susceptible to brainwashing. As nature intended you're free to ponder and think about the universe without restrictions.

A research a while ago called Dr Ronay Dougall I think, suggested that the pineal glad shut down the adrenals which then gave one a better night's sleep. Maybe it does more than one operation.

I have been having a strange dream for sometime now. I seem to go to, not quite another world, just another 'place', Each time I dream I visit another part of it to seem to go past somewhere I have been to before. I feel great there and would be just as happy there as here, if not slightly more so. Its lucid dreaming but weird. Someone posted that our dreams are about where we go when we die, I hope they are right.
